Semua Bab Mr. Ex Husband, Why're You Back After Divorce? : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Chapter Thirty Katherine, Tyke, Willow, Arianna, and Jordan stood in a tight circle around the hospital bed, staring at the man who lay unconscious. The man who’d been declared dead less than an hour ago.Myles looked nothing like the broken, blistered body they were told had been found at a dumpsite. His skin was now cleaned, the wounds dressed, an oxygen mask over his face, and multiple machines monitoring his vitals. If not for the bandages and faint bruising on his arms and neck, you'd think he was only asleep.None of them spoke. They just watched the slow, mechanical rise and fall of his chest.The doctor had called it a miracle.The police had initially refused them entry, citing protocol. But Jordan had insisted that he was Myles’ brother, and when the others also refused to back down, the officers finally allowed them inside under supervision.Katherine’s heart clenched as she looked at him. Whatever her history with Myles had been, seeing him like this helpless, unconscious

Chapter Thirty-twoKatherine sat at her desk, fingers moving over her laptop’s keyboard, but her mind wasn’t anywhere near her work. It was stuck on what had happened days ago with Myles. No matter how she tried to focus, all she could see was his unconscious body, pale against the hospital sheets, machines beeping steadily around him.The past few days had been hell. She found herself watching her family more closely than ever, even more than when they’d carried out their mission against Massimo. And speaking of Massimo, he was still in her head too. Damien’s recent announcement that Massimo was now their biggest client and a part owner of the company meant he could walk into their offices any time he pleased. She’d to be ready for that.Then there was the so-called Revenge Mission her team had been working on for the last three days. Nothing tangible had come from it yet, not even from the police investigation. Everything felt like it was spinning out of control.Her phone buzzed ag

Group Chat: The Chaos HQ 💥MadKat 🤯 (Katherine): I can’t believe it, guys! Massimo is back! He’s not just back but he’s a freaking co-partner in our company. As in… right now, he's having a meeting in our boardroom. We literally bumped into each other when I tried running out of the office. We ended up threatening each other like we just came out of a Mafia movie 😩.lThe moment Katherine got home, she immediately called for a group chat with her friends. In their little circle, everyone had a nickname that matched their personality. Katherine was Madkat, Arianna was the Iron Lady, Willow went by Silent Monkey, and Tyke, naturally, was the Chatterbox.Iron Lady ⚔️ (Arianna):WHATTTT 😱😱😱Silent Monkey 🐒 (Willow):No way… you’re kidding.Chatterbox 🎤 (Tyke):Bruhhh 💀💀💀 tell me you spat in his face at least.MadKat 🤯 (Katherine):If only. That’s not even the worst part. The worst part is… he kissed me. And I slapped him.There was silence in the chat for 3 seconds until–Iron

Few minutes earlier Meanwhile, at Vortan Groups, the atmosphere was suffocating. The tension in the boardroom was so thick it could have frozen even hell itself. The shareholders shifted uncomfortably in their leather seats, each of them looking as though they’d rather be anywhere but trapped in that room.At the head of the long table, Damian stood rigid, his face flushed with anger, chest rising and falling. His glare was fixed on Massimo who sat back in his chair with infuriating calm, legs crossed, exuding the arrogance of a man who believed the world itself bent to his will.Moments earlier, the room had nearly exploded with their shouting match. Damian had accused Massimo of manipulating his way into becoming co-partner and bringing scandal to the company with Katherine’s name dragged into it. But to Damian’s horror, the shareholders and even his own father, James Vortan had sided with Massimo.That bitter taste had barely left his mouth when James struck again, breaking the si

She grinned. “That, my darling, is something I'll never tell you. You don’t deserve to know. You’re my captive, my prey, and very soon… you’ll be nothing but ash and bone.”Katherine’s eyes narrowed in fury, but before she could speak, a beep pierced the silence.Her blood ran cold. She froze, eyes darting around. What was that?Another beep sounded. Her head snapped up, locking on the woman’s delighted grin.The woman leaned back casually, flicking her cigarette ash onto the floor. “Ah. You just noticed.” Her scarred face twisted. “Yes, dear niece. It’s exactly what you’re thinking.”Katherine’s breath hitched. “No—”“Oh yes,” the woman purred. “A bomb is strapped to the very chair you’re sitting in. And it will go off in precisely seven minutes. Tick-tock.”Katherine’s pulse hammered violently in her ears. Seven minutes?“No one is coming to save you, darling.” The woman said venomously.No, no, no… This couldn’t be happening. Why wasn’t help coming? Her friends had installed a tra
